Seeing your father in a dream: what does it mean in Islam?

Seeing your father in a dream is considered one of the most blessed things one can see in the Islamic tradition of dream interpretation. The father is interpreted as security, support and provision; seeing your father when you are in need is often the herald of unexpected help.

In short

A father dream mostly shows your search for a firm support in life and that this support is coming. If your father was smiling in the dream, it points to your affairs falling into place and the help you are waiting for being near. If there was sadness in the dream, it reminds you to strengthen your ties with your family.

Advice

• If he has passed away, pray for him and do a good deed on his behalf.
• If the dream was good, thank Allah and share it only with people who love you.

Allah knows best the truth of dreams.
